The most significant improvement to U.S. transportation in the late 1800s was the expansion of the railroad network. This era saw the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, which connected the East and West coasts, facilitating the movement of goods and people across vast distances. Railroads drastically reduced travel time and costs, spurred economic growth, and played a crucial role in the westward expansion of the United States. This innovation laid the foundation for a more interconnected national economy.
